I understand that they want to put on a big show here, but 2 hours of intro is a bit much here. I mean, I understand I'm not quite the perfect demographic anymore, but a best of five LoL match STARTING at 10pm is not something I have any hope of watching the entirety of.

TPA just dominated Frost. Hell, even in the first game they were outplaying them until teamfights, then they went to shit. Even the slower matches were impressive overall. I'm glad I stayed up for this (and sat through 2 hours of announcer jabberwocky).

WE kind of whupped them. In game 1, M5 left Twisted Fate open and Misaya did his thing. Did a good job early, but they snowballed late. Second game was, IMO, a bad draft from M5. Alex needs to stop picking Zilean. I don't think it's worked yet against an Asian team. M5 basically had no damage. WE's botlane is fucking scary. WeiXiao is a beeeeast.

And yah, TPA is still looking every bit as scary as the did at the S2 finals. Toyz, maybe not as dominant so far, but Bebe and Stanley are still really, really solid.

TSM ruins SGS who played a Karma mid(Good pick, bad game for them though). That is right, Karma in a tournament.

Alex Ich plays AP YI.. It goes about as well as you would have expected

SGS was running heavy shield teams every game. TSM just ruined them, even though SGS's mid had a huge farm lead early.

The CLG.eu game.. yah. Why would you ever pick Kat into a team that already had two hard disables on the board. Ended up with 4. WRECKED. They got issues, no lane looked solid out of perhaps, Dyrus. But they can just camp him.

That AP Yi was awesome. You could see that coming.

edit: This tournament has me pretty pessimistic about NA LoL. At least we're winning some games, but there's a lot of doormat teams here.

Froggen's Lux is a bit crazy. I'm not sure if there's anyone that's better with skill shot champs. TPA is one game from being gone.

edit: CLG's team comp in game 3 was so goddamn awful. Holy crap. You'd hope they'd at least select something with a chance of winning. Wickd's Rumble is not tourney worthy and Froggen all of the sudden busts out Vlad.

Game 2 was a bit hilarious as well. Bebe was up 125 cs on Pete (425 to 300) and out csing both mids. CLG.eu was up most of the game but he just melted them. It was an Anivia v. Oriana battle with Froggen and Toyz. Froggen dominated early, but Toyz caught up.

I don't know if any of you caught the last game of WE vrs CLG.eu, but that was one of the best games of LoL I have yet seen played. WE is looking like the beast of this one, they just group and destroy, group and destroy.
